Hi,

I am thinking of building a speaker system that has six 8 ohm midrange-
woofers and six 8 ohm planar-ribbon tweeters.

If I wire the mid-woofers in pairs for 8ohm+8ohm in series = 16 ohms
each pair, and then wire those three pairs in parallel, will my final
impedance for all six mid-woofers = 5.33 ohms?

Thanks. PS What will the summed mid-woofer inductance be? Each mid-
woofer is Le= .9mH

IB,

It'll be the same ratio. 2/3. The inductance will be 0.6 mH. Inductance works the same
way resistance does for series-parallel hookups. Also inductive and capacitive reactance.
Impedance too, for identical devices. Not capacitance though.

I've top-posted, since your reply also was.
